Me as well. I am generally friendly and helpful but also shy. However, I don’t suffer fools gladly. I’m fine with people who just don’t know something, but far less fine with selfish jerks amusing themselves at someone else’s expense.

Random players in groupfinder are never going to see you again, so their incentives are other players who are the least detriment possible to their needs. If this vexes you so then you’re always free to avoid groupfinder, and pugging in general.

I don’t turn to stone in sunlight so I can’t be a troll.

Tolkien’s trolls turn to stone in sunlight. If I’m going to be a troll I’m going to be a classic troll.
Well that makes sense then, but the three billy goats gruff say:
many people that are mean in the game are known as human trolls in RL - the hide in the basement and come out just to be mean to people
